Belarus has not shown any active actions near the Ukrainian border as of today; in particular, no exercises or movement of military equipment on its territory are taking place.
This was announced during a briefing at Ukrinform by the spokesperson of the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko.
There are no changes – movement of equipment or personnel near our border on Belarusian territory at the moment is not observed. Belarus, as before, keeps certain units along the border with Ukraine; their number does not change
– Andriy Demchenko
He noted that the same situation had occurred before – in 2022, 2023, and 2024. In fact, statements about training or readiness checks of various components of Belarus’s army inflate the situation, trying to show possible aggression from the territory of Ukraine or from European countries.
In effect, by announcing that trainings will take place, or that the combat readiness checks of various components of Belarus’s army – including modernization resources – are underway, Belarus, unfortunately, inflates the situation. By doing so, it wants to show that it expects some aggression either from Ukrainian territory, or from the territory of European countries
– Andriy Demchenko
According to the spokesperson, this is about informational influence, which, without a doubt, can be considered support for Russia – the terrorist country that started the war against our state. However, there are no actions near the border recorded at present, and no exercises are taking place.
as of now no actions near our border, including any exercises, they are not conducting
